Clinique Anti Blemish... Update.

So, it's day 3 of using these products, and I've decided to do a Pro list and a Con list. (Just remember I have only been using this for three days, so it's probably too soon to see any major results anyway)
Ok, so first.... The Pros.
Pros
-No brand new blemishes have formed yet.
-The moisturizer (3rd step) is a relief after the drying preivous steps (see Cons list)
Cons
-The first two steps are very drying - my face is literally painfully dry and tight until I apply the moisturizer.
-My forehead looks like it has botox it's so tight - not such a bad thing I guess, but a bit painful!
-If my skin is a bit dry before I use these products, the 2nd step BURNS. I have to quickly massage in a load of the moisturizer to calm it down. (But like I say, this only happens if my skin is quite dry BEFORE I put them on, and it's been fine most of the time)
-The spots I do have that were just red lumps under the skin have been "brought out" and now have heads... (ew) and I am seriously trying not to squeeze them as to let the products do their work properly. However, this might not be a bad thing in the long run; things mostly have to get worse before they can get better, and hopefully this will bring out all the bad spotty stuff so it dissappears and never bothers me again! Yay!


So, the past couple of days, I've been seriously inspecting my skin, to see how it goes, and I've noticed that a LOT of what I thought was spots/zits/acne/whatever is actually bad scars left over from previous spots. The Clinique 3 step does nothing towards getting rid of old scars, so I do have to reeeally look closely at my skin to see whats going on with my actual spots - as the scars look just as bad. Anyone suffer the same? Can anyone recommend anything good for my old acne scars? I'm tempted to use Bio Oil, but I am VERY wary of putting oil on my skin... I'm sure thats not a good idea!! xxx
